The vast Packers fanbase braces for a visit to the jungle. The early consensus seems to be a predictable one: the Bengals are a 3-1 team to be respected who can present challenges, especially to the Packers defense, but the Packers should find a way to get out with a win. I don't think that's an unreasonable view for Green Bay fans to have. These are teams that play each other only every four years whose games week to week usually have minimal impact upon one another's fortunes. They pay little attention to us as we do to them (though perhaps we pay more just by virtue of their prime time presence).
Where I think they truly underestimate their opponent is with the Bengals' defense. That's been a recurring theme early in the season. A few of them have taken notice and are especially concerned about how their banged up offensive line is going to deal with Hendrickson, Hubbard, and company. We seem to be catching the Packers at a good time in general considering the injuries they're dealing with, especially as we get healthy out of our extended week.
One thing about the Packers fanbase is that they don't really have to "travel" to be prominently represented in the stands on the road. They're everywhere. It'll be up to the Cincinnati fans in attendance to minimize their relevance.
When you have a premier QB you expect a chance to win at least
